According to Railway Herald, it was involved in some damage to the John Peel named 47. | ||

That must be fairly recent then, I snapped John Peel (47813) on the day that Tangmere went up the mainline

The 47 at Shenfield was on Thunderbird duties. In the morning it is at Colchester and the evening at Shenfield.
The damage was caused during an uncouling movement when the Multi cable was left in. |

On the subject of Captain Sensible, this video, featuring the real Captain is worth a watch!

Taken at Denver Crossing on the Kings Lynn - Liverpool Street service back in May 1989, is Class 47 579 James Nighthall GC heading Up road at approximately 80mph. This same picture has since been used on Bramley Line flyers.
